I’ll be there too. Come join us.
Join me tonight at St. Paul’s Cathedral as I embroider with a powerful group of women as part of “Evidence” Organized by Michelle Montjoy and Project Blank SD. Many hands will be stitching hash marks for what matters, what hurts, what was, what is and what we should not forget

A couple of years ago I created this #animation based on a short story I started to develop about a dying #planet with its lone survivor, a #robot with the memories of human who lived centuries ago. I haven’t created an animation since. Credit: Melissa Weiss

This #illustration represents effects of #X-ray & other high-energy radiation unleashed on potential #exoplanets from Wolf 359, a red dwarf star. Only a planet with greenhouse gases & at a large distance away from Wolf 359 could possibly support life.

Illustration of the timeline of the evolution of the #Cosmos from the #BigBang to the present day; it also illustrates how far the Advanced X-ray Imaging Satellite (AXIS) will detect X-ray sources compared to currently available observatories.
